The Greatest Reward …

In my life I have found that the greatest rewards are the ones that we can give to ourselves through the grace of God. He has given us strong minds and bodies that we must nourish and cultivate.

Our minds are hungry for knowledge and we are calmed and soothed by the teachings of the bible.


It is as if we can read its passages and see beforeus where we have come from and ultimitly where we are headed.

Yesterday as I was prepairing for another long week, I felt that familiar tightness in my neck and those anxious butterflies in my belly. I would recognize those symptoms anywhere, it was the beginnings of stress. Its like a constant battle for most people trying to keep the peace and also juggle hectic lives.
I tried everything I could think of to calm my mind and body.

I still felt tense as if I could just explode from nervous energy, it was strange to say the least.

I sat on the couch and tapped my fingers then I saw my MP3 player (Which I got on eBay at a bargain) laying on the counter. I put on the head phones and started listening to some great christian tunes and suddenly I was inspired! To do what, I didnt know. I searched around the house while the music played in my ears and before I realized it I was out the front door jogging down my street and feeling fantastic!

After my run I came back home with a feeling of sheer exaustion, which soon melted into complete pleasure. The pain in my neck gone, the butterflies in my belly nowhere to be found. I was stress free!

It is easy to be so absorbed with our thoughts and troubles that we forget to take care of our mind and body. There is a way to gather strenth and encouragement from Him for both. I made a small list of some of the songs i listened to on my jog yesterday. Give them a try or make your own list and give you body and mind the release it needs!

I Hope you enjoy

Till next time,

Yours Trully,

Hi Constantin

Great post! Thanks for sharing them online. I like the song “Love Them Like Jesus” by Casting Crowns. Soothing and relax!

I remembered something similar. I was having fever and sore throat one night after work. On the same night, I shared on the phone with a friend on how Jesus has blessed me and the symptoms disappeared naturally. Instant healing! Glory to God.

Taking “Holy Communion” is another way to claim our blessing from God. To remember Jesus has carried all our sins, shame, pain and diseases on the cross. We are healed. Amen!

God bless
